Drinkstone, Suffolk, All Saints' Parish Church.

The tower of this church houses an 11cwt ring of six. The bells, their frame and fittings are to be removed from the tower and the bells are to be recast into a new slightly lighter six. A new belfry floor will be sited lower in the tower and a new eight bell galvanised steel bell frame is to be manufactured and installed. All new ringing fittings will be manufactured and supplied with the new ring of bells.

A new sound control system is to be manufactured and installed and all new access ladders are also to be manufactured and installed from the ringing chamber upwards.

This project has been delayed with the need for a bat survey for the belfry!
